Class InstanceBuilder<T>

java.lang.Object
com.tangosol.coherence.config.builder.InstanceBuilder<T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
ParameterizedBuilder<T>, ParameterizedBuilder.ReflectionSupport, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, Serializable
public class InstanceBuilder<T> extends Object implements ParameterizedBuilder<T>, ParameterizedBuilder.ReflectionSupport, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject
An InstanceBuilder is a ParameterizedBuilder implementation that additionally supports injection based on Coherence <instance%gt; or <class-scheme> configurations.

While supporting injection this class may also be used in situations where a ParameterizedBuilder is required (must be passed) for a known type of the class.

For example, if you need a ParameterizedBuilder for a java.awt.Point class, but you don't want to create an anonymous ParameterizedBuilder implementation for a Point, you can use the following:

new InstanceBuilder(Point.class);

Further you may also provide constructor parameters as follows:

new InstanceBuilder(Point.class, 10, 12);

      Return the ParameterList to be used for constructor parameters when realizing the class.
      Returns:
      the ParameterList for the constructor

    • realize

      public T realize(ParameterResolver resolver, ClassLoader loader, ParameterList listConstructorParameters)
      Realizes (creates if necessary) an instance of a object of type T, using the provided ParameterResolver to resolve values any referenced Parameters.
      Specified by:
      realize in interface ParameterizedBuilder<T>
      Parameters:
      resolver - the ParameterResolver for resolving named Parameters
      loader - the ClassLoader for loading any necessary classes and if null the ClassLoader used to load the builder will be used instead
      listConstructorParameters - an optional ParameterList (may be null) to be used for realizing the instance, eg: used as constructor parameters
      Returns:
      an instance of T

    • realizes

      public boolean realizes(Class<?> clzClass, ParameterResolver resolver, ClassLoader loader)
      Determines if the ParameterizedBuilder will realize an instance of the specified class (without requiring the builder to actually realize an object).

      This method is synonymous with the Java keyword instanceof but allows dynamic runtime type querying of the types of objects a builder may realize.

      Specified by:
      realizes in interface ParameterizedBuilder.ReflectionSupport
      Parameters:
      clzClass - the expected type
      resolver - the ParameterResolver to use for resolving necessary Parameters
      loader - the ClassLoader for loading any necessary classes and if null the ClassLoader used to load the builder will be used instead
      Returns:
      true if the ParameterizedBuilder will realize an instance of the class, false otherwise

    • toString

      public String toString()
